Ashcroft 92897 Pressure Gauge 60 Psi 8.5 Inch Dial

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 92897 is an analog pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure monitoring in mechanical and process systems. It features an 8.5-inch dial face with a 0 to 60 psi range, making readings easy to observe from a distance in busy mechanical rooms or equipment areas. Accuracy is rated at 0.25 percent of scale, which suits applications requiring precise pressure indication. The Bourdon tube is constructed of bronze and the case is aluminum, offering a durable, lightweight housing for demanding service environments. A lower-mount, 1/4-inch threaded connection provides straightforward installation into standard process taps. This gauge is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors.

The ASHCROFT 92897 is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial process piping where monitoring pressures up to 60 psi is required. The large 8.5-inch dial makes it particularly appropriate for panel or wall-mounted applications where readability from a distance is a priority. Lower-mount configuration fits standard bottom-entry installations common in boiler rooms, mechanical closets, and equipment skids.

Key Features

• 8.5-inch analog dial face for high-visibility pressure reading at distance
• 0 to 60 psi range with 0.25 percent of scale accuracy
• Bronze Bourdon tube for reliable pressure sensing and corrosion resistance
• Aluminum case construction — lightweight and durable
• Lower-mount, 1/4-inch threaded connection for standard bottom-entry installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit gauge for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general process piping systems requiring a lower-mount, 1/4-inch connection pressure gauge rated to 60 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanical contractor. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing the existing gauge or threading in the new one. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the 1/4-inch male threads before installation and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-snug — do not overtighten, as this can damage the socket fitting. Verify system pressure is within the 0 to 60 psi rated range before returning the system to service.
